About Frank
Frank P. Leanza devotes much of his practice to the litigation of medical malpractice, long term care/nursing home liability, and municipal liability cases. He has handled several hundred medical malpractice claims and lawsuits.
In 2006, Frank joined Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin as a shareholder, following 16 years as a partner at the defense firm of McDermott & McGee, where he concentrated in the defense of medical malpractice cases on behalf of physicians and in defending municipalities in civil rights and personal injury lawsuits.
Frank has represented many physicians, in various medical specialties, dentists, and podiatrists in health care liability/medical malpractice actions. He has taken approximately 100 cases to trial and has received a defense verdict rate in excess of 90%. He has successfully defended physicians in numerous cases with the potential for high jury awards, including cases involving multiple amputations, wrongful death claims, wrongful birth claims, and claims for wrongful death of a fetus, by either establishing that the physician was not negligent or not the proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries. Frank has also successfully defended numerous municipalities in personal injury claims and alleged civil rights violations.
Since 2001, Frank has acted as a Municipal Court Judge for Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey.
